Waystone is a small semi vanilla survival server that feels like the Hermitcraft style where people actually talk and build stuff that stays. It is made for a long term world with a calm pace and a community that tries to feel like friends.
It is not pay to win and it does not do constant resets. You can build big or small and take your time. There is land claiming so your builds stay safe but it does not feel too annoying.
Deaths are less stressful because your items get saved in a gravestone for a few hours. As you play you also level up skills and get small perks over time and it is not meant to be super grindy.
When you go raiding together everyone gets their own loot so people do not fight over it. There is optional proximity voice chat so you can talk when you are near people or use party chat if you want.
The world has seasons and holiday events and little details to make it feel alive. The server is whitelist only and it runs on Java 1.21.11 and it is hosted in the UK.

I found a Vanilla Java SMP that is starting Season 2 on a fresh world but it is inside an already established server. It feels like a place where your builds are supposed to last and not get wiped out fast.
When you join you spawn in a central hub and you can pick where you want to play. There is the brand new Season 2 world. There is also a Season 1 world that has over 2300 in game days and it is already built up. There is also a creative superflat world for testing and planning.
The server runs on 1.21.11 Java using PaperMC and it is online 24 7. It is whitelisted and you have to join the Discord and apply to get in. They say it keeps out griefers and protects long term builds. It is meant to feel like pure vanilla with only light quality of life and protection plugins and no mods or gameplay changes.
The community is small and chill and focused on building. It sounds best for people who want towns cities castles mega bases terraforming and big community projects for the long run.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPChill 18+ Vanilla Plus Seasonal SMP
